Pigs in a Blanket

This recipe I have had around for 10 years or longer.  My family loves it so much that, when I make them, they never last.  Even when I think I have made enough that they should last, they don't.  This recipe is time consuming so I don't make them very often.

I should also mention that I make the dough in the bread machine.  I am a little too lazy to do it any other way.

Pigs in a Blanket (with Hot Dogs)

Ingredients

For dough:
1 cup water
2 tablespoons margarine
1 egg
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons active dry yeast

To finish:
2 packages of hot dogs
American sliced cheese
Margarine for topping



Directions:

• Place all dough ingredients in bread machine pan in the order listed.  Press select until you have it on the dough setting.  Press start.
• Grease cookie sheet (I use a Pampered Chef stone so I don't grease mine).  Divide dough into 10 to 12 balls.
• Slice each hot dog long way down the entire length of the hot dog.  Do not cut all the way through.  Slice cheese into strips and place inside the slit of the hot dog.
• Roll the dough balls out flat on a floured surface.  Place one cheese filled hot dog on each rolled out dough.  Wet the edge of the dough with water so that it will stick.  Roll the hot dog up and fold the edges under.  Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and top with margarine.  They taste best if served warm.  If by some chance you do have left overs, they do reheat well.
